Milwaukee, Wis., Aug. 12.—‘‘Tu- berculous cattle, though condemned by the State Veterinarian, are being killed at certain packing-houses about Milwaukee and the non-infect- ed portions sold for food all over the United States” That is the sensational statement made by State and United States of- ficials who are connected with the veterinary and meat-inspection de- partments. That the practice is in vogue is not denied, but the Koch theory that tuberculosis which causes disease in cattle is not of effect on the human system is the defense that is made of the practice. Though the practice is in vogue in Wisconsin, it is said that there is no one of the other States in which meat is packed that permits it, and the discovery of the public that this is being done here is likely to work a radical change {n methods that will end the practice. Miner Killed a “Bad Man.” Salt Lake, Utah, Aug. 12.—A spe- cial to the News from State Line, says that Jim Hedges was killed in a street duel yesterday by Jim Glen- denning, a miner, who was afterwards arrested and placed in jail. Hedges for years had the reputa- tion of being a “‘bad man,” and dur- ing his twenty years’ residence in the border town killed three men in street encounters. Yesterday Hedges and Glendenning | got into a controversy as to their respective merits as revolver experts, and as a result Hedges challenged Glendenning to a fight. Hedges went after his revolver, and, mixing up in the crowd, shot Glendenning through the arm, before the latter was aware of his presence. Glendenning returned the fire and put two bullets through Hedges’s ‘heart within two inches of each oth- er. *| should be BUTLER. MISSOURI, THURSDAY, AUGUST 'VEST’S IDEAS ON LEADING ISSUES. ‘Three Questions More Impor- tant Than Free Silver, the Missouri Senator Says. INCOME TAX AND THE TRUSTS.
